For security dealers, churn is one of the biggest threats to recurring monthly revenue (RMR). While attracting new accounts is important, growth depends on keeping existing customers satisfied and engaged. Emergency24 helps dealers retain accounts through better communication, education and loyalty strategies, making customer retention a daily priority, not just an afterthought.
Why Churn Hurts More Than You Think
Losing an account doesn’t just mean missing one month of billing. It means losing predictable revenue and investing time and money into replacing that customer. For most dealers, it costs far more to gain a new account than it does to keep one. Protecting your base is critical to protecting your bottom line.
Stay Top-of-Mind With Proactive Communication
Strong communication builds trust and trust keeps customers from shopping around. With Emergency24’s support tools, dealers can strengthen visibility and responsiveness through:
